As Hollywood’s golden age gave way to a new generation of talent, the movies got bolder than ever. This is certainly true of comedy, as newfound cultural permissiveness enabled filmmakers like Mike Nichols (The Graduate), Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles), and Robert Altman (M*A*S*H) to push boundaries considered unthinkable just a decade or two prior. The results are some of the most crowd-pleasingly brazen comedies in film history. Join us as we endeavor down this often uneasy but hilarious road of social commentary amid groundbreaking laughs!
